Ramirez, 33, batted just .242 with 23 home runs and 62 RBIs this season. He went 8 for 14 with three RBIs in the Red Sox's ALDS loss to the Astros.

Next season will be Ramirez's last on a four-year, $88 million deal. He does, however, have a vested 2019 option for $22 million if he reaches 1,050 plate appearances between 2017-18. He had 553 this season.
